A case of Northsouthery?

As part of European Week Against Racism, the first North-South handbook on dealing with the issue has been launched today.

The National Consultative Committee on Racism says the problem is multi-faceted, spanning issues from discrimination in the workplace, verbal abuse, harassment and assaults to the distribution of offensive material on the internet.

Do we need anti-racism initiatives to have a North-South reference as advocated by the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission and the Northern Ireland Council for Ethnic Minorities or is this just a case of northsouthery for the sake of it?
